This unique and wonderfully characterful apartment is filled with traditional Venetian charm and a certain effortless style, whilst also offering a range of handy amenities and all the mod-cons you could need for a memorable, comfortable stay in this iconic, inimitable city. We especially love the shining tile floors and rustic exposed wooden beams that give this home a sense of history and place. On the other hand, the sleek modern kitchen and high-spec bathrooms bring the space right into the 21st century. Warm, cosy, and undeniably beautiful, we think this home is a real find – and the perfect starting point for your own Venetian voyage. 

Within easy reach of this typically Venetian Palazzo, you will find yourself at the famous St. Mark's Square, as well as amongst the fantastic restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping opportunities that bring the city to life. Take a walk over the historic Rialto Bridge, or hop aboard a Vaporetto that will take you along the winding canals that make Venice one of the most special places on earth.

Just a short walk from the Accademia Bridge and the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this smart apartment is the perfect base for exploring the beautiful, floating city of Venice. Inside, you'll find stylish furnishings, trendy art prints and pretty pink wallpaper, creating a chic and elegant home, so you'll have no trouble unwinding here with a glass of Italian wine. When the weather's warm, sit out on your private terrace and enjoy supper and drinks alfresco. 

When it's time to explore, you're within many of the city's must-see attractions, including St Mark’s Square, the Punta della Dogana museum and the Church of Madonna della Salute. Fill your days with romantic gondola rides, Vaporetto tours, and going from meal to meal at a range of excellent restaurants and wine bars.

For somewhere between San Marco and the Rialto bridge, A Call for Calm is remarkably quiet. It’s far from the main thoroughfares, the narrow alleyways that nevertheless carry tens of thousands of tourists to and from St. Mark’s Square every day. It’s also, location aside, a lovely place to stay. The hefty beams stand out, but every part of the design works perfectly together, and while it can only hold three people, Mario looks after a couple of other places in the building, so larger groups can look at potential combinations.

In a grand Venetian palazzo, this amazing home is not the kind of place that you come across every day. Relax with a glass of Prosecco on the altana, a typical Venetian rooftop terrace – we love the breathtaking 360-degree views of the city.

Inside, with its ornate furniture, beautiful paintings and baroque atmosphere, you can imagine hosting a masquerade within its walls. It encapsulates the beauty and richness of this once-mighty empire. This home has probably one of the comfiest sofas – it's made of down and feather, so it's very soft, and you'll sink right into it – we felt like Lord Byron lounging here.

The location is as splendid as this apartment – historic Piazza San Marco and Accademia Bridge are just over a five-minute stroll. Opera lovers will be over the moon to learn that Teatro La Fenice is a mere three-minute saunter. Your lovely hosts can arrange cultural guides and boat excursions to ensure you get the most out of your time in this stunning city.

This art-filled home is just as impressive as its location on the Zattere waterfront. Moments from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Gallerie dell'Accademia as well as a wonderful selection of restaurants, this is the perfect setting for an idyllic Italian stay. You’ll also have access to a serene private courtyard – a rare treat in this location. Inside, there's something to admire in every corner thanks to the unique collection of art and furnishings. There’s also a custom-built library, a wine cellar and an independent studio (with its own entrance) on the ground floor – perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy. 

A Venetian Moon

Desk

Located just moments from the iconic La Fenice Opera House and five minutes on foot from San Marco Square, this is as central as Venice apartments get. Not that you’d know it – despite its location, guests rave about how quiet it is at night here. Well-suited for a small family or group of friends sharing, there’s a sofa bed in the lounge area to sleep an additional guest. The desk space tucked away in a nook off the bedroom is a bonus, too, for anyone planning to work remotely.

Murano Pearl

Pod Coffee Machine

There's something rather grand about this apartment in the historic centre of Venice. The high ceilings, parquet flooring and tall windows combine together for a classy backdrop, against which the selection of contemporary furnishings and modern artwork really stand out. Add to that an industrial-style kitchen, a few large bedrooms and boldly coloured bathrooms, and you have an address that is as memorable as the city outside the front door. Through the windows, it's possible to see the spectacular dome of Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute that sits on the other side of the Grand Canal. Closer to home, there are designer boutiques running along the apartment's street, while the Teatro La Fenice opera house is only a two-minute walk away.

Featured in the London Evening Standard’s Home and Property pages, this beautiful home in Venice’s Dorsoduro neighbourhood is an oasis of sun-dappled calm in the city. 
 
Boasting a glorious private garden, you’ll feel perfectly serene as you enjoy an aperitivo and an alfresco meal beneath the large vine-covered pergola or while catching some rays on the deck chairs on sunny afternoons. 
 
Inside, the decor is an elegant blend of Old World charm and rustic chic, with beamed ceilings in the cream-coloured living area and three classically-styled bedrooms, two of which have en-suites. We love the main bedroom’s luxurious tub and the rainfall showers in the other two bathrooms too. 
 
While you could easily spend all day in your swish pad, go out and explore the many sights around you. You’re a three-minute walk from the grand Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a four-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, while bustling St. Mark's Square is fifteen minutes away on foot and by water bus. With your host able to organise a plethora of fun and activities too – including wine tastings, cooking classes, city tours and skippered boat excursions to the Venetian Lagoon – you can be sure to experience Venice in style.
 


Vine Oasis

This elegant apartment is spread across two floors of a historic palazzo, boasting fantastic views of the canal and the San Trovaso Church. You’ll be in a great location from which to explore Venice and enjoy gondola rides, but far enough from the usual tourist spots to enjoy some tranquillity too. This is an ideal base for a family, with plenty of space for everyone in the party to find a little private nook. There are some stairs to climb here, and the kitchen may be on the compact side, but still, this is a great find. 

The Last Gondola 

This charming apartment boasts a rare feature that sets it – quite literally – above the rest. Climb the stairs from the third bedroom and arrive on the roof terrace, from which you can devour a magnificent view of Venice’s skyline, including St Mark’s Campanile. Because of this terrace, this home isn’t suitable for children under the age of 6, but it’s ideal for families with older children, and for groups of friends. It’s in a peaceful setting in the refined parish of San Samuele, close to all of Venice’s main sights, including the Grand Canal. 

Venice, I Can Feel the Waves

Satellite / Cable TV

When it came to designing this home, the brief was to celebrate authentic Italian craftsmanship with a touch of operatic flair. And we think the result hits all the right notes. The rooms are elegant and classic, with plenty of space across the three floors to stretch out and relax. You’ll also find original features, including steep stairs that may be tricky for guests with reduced mobility. From here, it's just a short stroll to the restaurants, bars and galleries of Dorsoduro, as well as the water bus stop to take you across to St Mark’s Square. And if you’re in search of a little something extra special, your host can organise a range of additional services – including guided tours and private chefs.

Palazzo Bliss

Escape the crowds in Venice and stay in your own private museum. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a buzzing central neighbourhood only minutes from Piazza San Marco, this quiet apartment boasts views from a rooftop terrace facing an aqua canal. Every piece of furniture in this opulent apartment is a work of art, with beautiful antique mirrors, marble floors, and dressers. This includes the magnificent 16th-century four-poster beds in each bedroom, straight from your host’s family castle in Tuscany. Settle in and live like historical royalty – except with the added luxury of modern comforts. When you return home from a day of wandering Venice's winding streets, enjoy a coffee out on the roof terrace and admire the city's famous waterways from above – although the steps are steep, particularly up to the roof, the view is well worth it.

Nice to haves

You've struck gold with this one. Epitomising Venetian grandeur in every crevice and, in the same breath, delivering a masterclass in colour theory, it's no surprise that this beautifully-designed home has caught the discerning eye of Condé Nast Traveller. It's delightfully peaceful, tucked away in a piazza's side street yet right at the heart of the historic centre, just a ten-minute stroll from St Mark's Square.

The interior exudes elegance, striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary comfort. Majestic timber beams cling to lofty ceilings while large windows usher in floods of sunlight. We love the living space, a sanctuary of serenity cloaked in a radiant emerald hue and adorned with parquet flooring, lavish textiles and opulent decor. A solid wood doorway leads to the well-appointed kitchen, equipped with swish appliances and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted at the dining table, sipping coffee and tucking into pastries before a day of adventure.

Emerald Masquerade

Located in one of the most interesting districts of Venice, this home is the ideal base for those who want to visit all the major Venetian museums including the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Guggenheim Museum. What’s more, it is also distant enough from the crowded tourist spots to offer a more authentic, local feel to your stay. 

The home’s crowning glory, however, is its two large terraces, one of which is sheltered by a beautiful arch of plants that creates a great shaded outdoor spot, even on the hottest of days. After a day exploring the city – admiring the views on Accademia Bridge and roaming the waters on a boat excursion – enjoy a perfect alfresco dinner of Italian pizza on pasta on the fantastic terrace, perched above the middle of the city.

Arose at Dawn

Cute, quirky, and bijou, this stylish three-bedroom apartment spread over three floors of a traditional Venetian building in the heart of Venice’s bustling San Marco neighbourhood offers a comfortable base for discovering the best of this unique city. We especially love the authentic wooden beams that give the space character and think the south-facing terrace off the master bedroom provides the perfect place to sip a morning coffee and plan the day ahead. Step outside the home and you will find a host of independent shops, cosy cafes, and restaurants serving mouth-watering Italian fayre, while the world-famous Rialto Bridge and the sprawling Piazza San Marco are within easy reach too. Water bus and Gondola services are also easily accessible.

The Oyster Shell

Discover a haven of tranquillity in this beautifully designed apartment set within a 15th-century palazzo. We love the mix of character details and contemporary touches, from the marble mantelpiece to the mural inspired by Venetian gardens. It has all the essentials to settle in nicely, too – comfortable beds, a full kitchen, and a duo of bathrooms. Topping it all off is the fantastic location. You'll be in the heart of Venice here, just a fifteen-minute stroll from St Mark's Square, Doge's Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs.

Venetian Serenity

This attractive apartment is just a few minutes from the iconic Ponte dell’Accademia, where you can enjoy one of the best views in Venice. You’ll also be close to the Rialto Bridge. The apartment is comfortable and stylish, with charming wallpaper and exposed wooden beams. The kitchen window looks out onto Venetian rooftops; you can cook for yourself when you don’t fancy dining out in the cafes and restaurants nearby. This home has plenty of room for four and is well-suited to long-term stays. 

Crystal & Lace

Throws

Umbrellas

This elegant home is the ideal bolthole for those visiting Venice. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood – Campo Santo Stefano – close to every sight Venice has to offer, but away from the crowds. 

The apartment is a grand family home, with traditional touches like the wood-beamed ceilings. It’s on the fourth floor, and from the windows you can see a pretty skyscape of Venetian rooftops all the way to the Grand Canal. Even more amazingly for Venice, this building has an elevator so those four floors are no trouble at all. 

Take your morning coffee on the balcony, then head out to explore the city. The Vaporetto stop at Santa Maria del Giglio is five minutes from the apartment, so it’s easy to get out on the lagoon. The glorious views from Ponte dell’Accademia can be found just five minutes away, while Piazza San Marco is a ten-minute stroll. Rialto Bridge is nine minutes from the apartment – stroll across it with a gelato for a cheeky touristy moment. 

Calle XXII Marzo, an upmarket avenue of high-end boutiques, is just seven minutes from the apartment. Whether you’re flashing the cash or window shopping, it’s worth a wander. 

However you spend your time in Venice, you’ll be glad to be doing so here. This apartment is comfortable and bright, and in an unbeatable location. 


A Taste Of Venice

We can't sing the praises of this Venetian apartment in a traditional palazzo highly enough. The location next to Squero di San Trovaso, a historic gondola yard that's the last still active in the city, puts you close to a huge range of attractions, while there are idyllic views of the square and a local church from the large living room window. To top it all off – quite literally – there's a rooftop terrace on which to dine and watch the sun setting over local rooftops.

Artistic Imagination

This apartment laid out over two floors sits in the restored home of a 15th-century Venetian Doge. Make your entrance by private water taxi and take in the elegant blend of modern and antique-inspired furnishings. The marble bathtub is a definite highlight, as is the Juliet balcony offering incredible canal views – best enjoyed over a glass of bubbly.  The kitchenette is on the small side here, but you’ll find plenty of restaurants nearby. The home is also a breezy stroll to the nearest museum and the famous Rialto market, and there are three vaporetto (water bus) stops nearby for easy movement around the city. 


Salts & Sunlight

Nestled in the storied quarter of San Marco, this apartment is packed with Venetian grandeur. Artwork, gold accents, and antiques all combine together to create a unique hideaway. There's plenty of room for a small group between the lounge, dining room, and two traditional bedrooms. It won't suit those looking for modern touches (though there are plenty of contemporary comforts inside), but it suits the historic surroundings perfectly. Speaking of setting, you'll be in the heart of Venice here. Landmarks like the famous Accademia Bridge and Piazza San Marco are within easy reach – not to mention an array of eateries and shops.

Gold Touch

Paid Parking On Street

This central Venice apartment is all about great design aesthetics. Yet with an on-point location between the Dorsoduro's Guggenheim Collection and the waters of the Zattere promenade, as well as a private rooftop terrace to call yours here – the space is so much more than stylish interiors. After a day's excursions exploring the historic locale, drinks on the rooftop terrace are part of the appeal, or you might prefer to take a glass of prosecco to one of the luxurious bathtubs. 




Sunshine Cities

Step-Free Access

If you're looking for a quiet little base to set up a romantic trip in Venice, you can stop looking. This home is more functional than stylish, but it has everything you need for extended stays, including a well-equipped kitchen. And while the courtyard's furniture could do with an upgrade, the space is still perfect for spending some time away from the throng of tourists. Despite being tucked away in a quiet part of town, you're within walking distance of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Zattere promenade here.

Quaint Courtyard Abode

Sitting on the Rio dei Carmini Canal, this apartment is all about its breathtaking views. A small balcony lets you take in the stunning scenery with the canal right below you, best enjoyed – we think – with a glass of Italian wine. The minimalist decor certainly lets the views do the talking here, and you’ll need to tackle quite a few steps upon leaving the lift and once inside the home itself. But with dreamy postcard-perfect windows and a location that puts you a five-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this home ticks a lot of boxes for a memorable Venetian stay.  


Blue Velvet Dreams

This stylish Venetian apartment offers a charming canal view and a private outside space. As if that wasn't enough, it's been recently renovated so you've got high-end touches and all the modern comforts you could wish for from the moment you arrive. In fact, contemporary style sits side by side with original features in this charming pad. 

Just a short walk from the lively Campo Santa Margherita and the Zattere, with its stunning views of the beautiful architecture and iconic canals. Surrounded by restaurants and cafes, while many of the city's most celebrated attractions are easily reachable on foot, including the Gallerie dell'Accademia, you really couldn't be better placed. There are romantic gondola rides to enjoy, and hidden wine bars to discover. 

When you return home, you can make the most of the good weather by gathering your group outside. The apartment is tucked away within a friendly residential neighbourhood, where you can sit out and enjoy dinner and drinks alfresco on your covered terrace, savouring the balmy summer evenings. 

My Venetian Terrace

Courtyard

An unbeatable central location and canal views seal the deal at this Venice apartment. Set just steps from the Peggy Guggenheim museum in the Dorsoduro quarter, you'll be an easy stroll from all the landmarks. This pad is housed in a 16th-century Venetian palazzo reimagined into a collection of apartments, making it well suited to family and friend stays. Expect four equally stylish bedrooms – all with the option to be arranged as kings or twins. Although there’s no private outdoor space, the communal terrace downstairs is a nice touch for aperitifs. You can also watch the gondolas gliding by from the windows – just like you imagined.

A Venetian Dream

DVD Library

On an alleyway that leads down to the bank of the Grand Canal, A Call For Peace is in something of a magical position. Inside, it’s surprisingly modern, which is unusual for Venice, but some of the original structural features have been kept on to tie the flat to the history of its setting. It’s a nice touch, and works really well. Given the layout of the bedrooms, it feels like it would work particularly well for families, and the proximity to all the main attractions backs that up.

A Call For Peace

Situated in a typical Venetian building – this apartment has gorgeous views from the living and dining room over Venice’s charming canals, as well as glimpses of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. If some of your group are split between a preference for a modern or characterful home – well this place mixes both styles. Guests with limited mobility should take note that this home’s building doesn’t have a lift. If that’s not a deal-breaker, you’ll love the location – the Peggy Guggenheim Museum is nearby, while getting to the Lido is easy as the Santo Spirito Vaporetto is just a short walk away.

The Stag's Eye

Amidst the historic streets of Venice, this apartment makes it easy to explore the iconic sights of the floating city. It’s a short stroll to galleries, Basilicas and local restaurants. Plus, you’ll find easy access to the canals for boat trips and your host is on hand to help organise a range of extras – including guided tours and airport transfers. Back at home, you’ll have access to a private terrace for sunset drinks. Inside, the open-plan living room is perfectly suited to couples and solo travellers, while the bedroom makes it easy to switch off after a day of exploring. 

Venetian Beauty

This charming loft space in Venice was once a boatyard – it's been converted to a high standard, with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. We love the elegant decor of this home and its canal views, as well as the private water door giving guests access to a library room. The kitchen is small but has all the necessary electrical appliances – though there are a number of bars and restaurants nearby should you prefer to eat out. There are lots of well-known landmarks within easy walking distance too – Campo Santa Margherita is just two minutes away and the Accademia Bridge is a five-minute walk from the property.




Sail Loft

Sound System

Surrounded by the vintage boutiques, independent shops and low-key eateries of Vencine’s Dorsoduro district, this apartment offers a relaxing retreat in the heart of Venice. Spread over three levels, there’s plenty of space here, and the plush furnishings give the place a homely feel. we love the rooftop terrace, which affords views over the city’s architectural masterpieces. If you’re in town for work or just need to keep on top of emails, the cosy office will no doubt come in handy. The top floor features a luxurious suite, ideal for a couple or small family who need their own space – the sofa turns into a sofa bed for a little one who needs to sleep close to their parents.

Venetian Garden

Tucked away on a side street just a stone’s throw from vibrant, shop-filled Calle de la Mandola, this comfortable apartment is just the ticket for those looking to make the most out of Venice’s historic sights. 
 
There’s a touch of Old World charm in the home’s beamed ceilings and French doors giving way to scenic Juliet balconies, while the decor is unmistakable contemporary, allowing you to experience your city stay in style. The two bedrooms are pared back and curated with rest and relaxation in mind, while the luxurious tiled bathrooms are swoon-worthy spaces you’ll relish waking up to. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, you couldn't be better placed with countless cultural hotspots within easy walking distance – St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge are a ten-minute walk, Campo Sant'Angelo is a four-minute stroll and the Doge's Palace is a fourteen-minutes away on foot. With your host able to organise wine tastings, trips by skippered boat the Venetian Lagoon and plenty more activities, you’re all set for a memorable time. 


Rossini's Rhyme

This classy penthouse apartment offers plenty of space in the centre of Venice. Just two minutes walk from the Vaporetto stop, simply jump on the water bus to explore famous landmarks and delicious eateries. Set over two floors, this home can comfortably sleep seven people thanks to a sofa bed on the mezzanine level. Inside you’ll find antiques and wooden beams, which only add to the home’s character, as well as two terraces that offer panoramic views over the city’s rooftops. Opera fans will appreciate the building's proximity to the Fenice Theatre – one of the finest opera houses in the world.

From the moment you arrive at this decadent palazzo, perched in one of the finest locations in the city along the Grand Canal, you feel like Venetian royalty. Taking you back to the era of masquerade balls, the baroque-style living room has nothing to hide behind, with bespoke furnishings, ornate rugs, and a dazzling crystal chandelier – to stay here is to move into a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. The sunshine peeks in through stunning Murano glass encased in gothic archway windows, bathing the living space in natural light. Each room is filled with magnificent features – think fresco ceilings, regal portraits and opulent touches. We particularly love the communal courtyard that shows off the Venician architecture with endless charm. Since Piazza San Marco is only an eighteen-minute walk away, you’re surrounded by the delights of Venice. Visit the historic St. Mark’s Basilica, amble around the Palazzo Ducale, climb the Campanile bell tower, or take a glamorous gondola ride through the entire city – all reachable in less than a twenty minute's walk. Retreat to your eloquent palace, relaxing on the sun-dappled balcony, sipping a spritz Veneziano as the vaporettos cruise down the canal. 

The Venetian Defence

Safe

Sitting just a stone’s throw from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, this inviting apartment puts Venice’s most iconic sights at your fingertips. 

Inside, the decor exudes simple elegance with a pared-back aesthetic that makes the space feel modern and bright. Though compact, the home maximises its space to great effect with a concealed kitchenette in the open-plan living area, as well as clever details like a stand-up mirror hidden in the bedroom’s vanity desk. Speaking of the bedroom, we love the feature wall that adds a touch of boudoir flair to the proceedings. 

When it comes to exploring outside your home, you’re just a five-minute walk from the Punta della Dogana museum and the beautiful Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, while lively St Mark’s Square is ten minutes away on foot. 


Flowers for Sunsets

With a central yet quiet location, this home in Venice's San Marco offers an atmospheric base you'll love spending time in – just look at the wood beams on the ceiling and that fantastic terrace overlooking a canal. This home is suited to both families and couples travelling together, as the twin room can be turned into a double, offering flexibility. The canal outside is quiet and the streets opposite are off the beaten path, meaning you'll get plenty of peace here despite being a short stroll from town squares, famous bridges, and delicious eateries. 

The Canals & The Terrace

Fireplace

At the corner of the Corte Barozzi square, this home is spread over three levels and offers an authentically Venetian stay. The amount of stairs mean it's not suitable for toddlers and small children, and guests who struggle with stairs will want to look elsewhere. But the views from the rooftop terrace are lovely, and the stylish bedrooms guarantee a comfortable night's sleep. Spots like St Mark's Square and the neighbourhood gondola station are a short walk away, so traversing the city will be a breeze.

Illustrious Venus

For an authentic experience in Venice, this apartment is a good choice. It’s in the San Marco sestiere, close to Palazzo Zaguri, St Mark’s Square, and La Fenice Opera House – location doesn’t get better than this. The vaporetto stops of Accademia, Giglio and Sant’Angelo are all within easy reach, so the city is yours to discover. The apartment is all wood beams and antique furniture – if you like sleek, modern homes, this isn’t the one for you – but it’s full of character. The living room looks out over the campo and the bell tower of Santo Stefano, which makes sipping pre-dinner drinks at home all the more appealing. 

The Shipyard

Complete with a four-poster bed, gorgeous little courtyard garden, and striking original stone staircase, this beautiful home feels as though it's been plucked from another era entirely. It offers a great blend of old and new, however, as it is equipped with a wonderfully contemporary kitchen in which we can just imagine whipping up a tasty homecooked meal. The home has been in the same family for generations, and you can really feel the love and care that's gone into maintaining it. The period villa also boasts a great location within the Dorsoduro District close to the Campo Santa Margherita where you will find loads of popular local eateries, bustling bars packed with Venetians, and some cafes perfect for people-watching.

Finely Aged Chianti

Comfortable, unfussy and well-connected, this apartment is an excellent place to call home. Although there’s not much natural light and the kitchen is small, there’s plenty of space for the group to spread out – the living room is separate from the dining area, which is ideal if the sofa bed is in use. In terms of location, you’re around a five-minute walk from Piazzale Roma and twenty minutes from San Marco. What’s more, there’s a water bus stop nearby and you’re not far from Venice’s central train station.
